Fighting Hunger
Hunger is never more than a few days
away from the American people.
The coal strike showed us what a narrow
margin the country goes on, even in a non
perishable necessity which can be stored.
Swift & Company is engaged in the
business of fighting hunger.
From coast to coast, from the Great
Lakes to the Gulf, the lines of defense are
drawn packing plants at strategic points;
' branch houses in four hundred towns and
cities; hundreds of car routes; thousands
of refrigerator cars; tens of thousands of
loyal men and women expert in their work.
Day by day, hour by hour ceaselessly, :
r this fight, your fight, goes on. Yet so
smoothly, surely and victoriously that you,
unaware how close hunger always is, are
as certain each night of tomorrow's meat
as you are of tomorrow's sun.
And so economically is this done that the coat
to you for this service is less than three cents a
pound pf meat sold. The profit shared in by
more than 30,000 shareholders whose money
makes the victory possible is only a fraction of a
cent a pound on all products.
i '
If hunger did not make it necessary for us to
fight this fight in the best, possible way for all
-concerned, the competition of hundreds of other
packers, large and small, would compel us.'
